Hello from Ukraine
Hello everyone! My name is Alex, I'm from Ukraine and I am an owner of a beautiful XF 3.0 supercharged AWD. Unfortunately, for the past year and a half that I've had it most of the time it spent in service or on the parking, waiting for the service. I've brought it from USA auctions, as a non-damaged car, however, it was shipped without keys. Little did I know, that keys were probably thrown away on purpose, as after almost 6 months of struggle to make a key, I realise that the engine is completely dead. Overheated and stuck. But even that is not a problem anymore, in Ukraine we have all kind of serviceman, who can even rise a jaguar engine from the dead. Now it purrs like a kitten, and drives like a dream, however..... awd keeps shutting down all the time. And that, surprisingly, is the biggest problem, as physically and electronically everything is ok. Multiple services have been all over the wiring and transmission and transfer box with no luck. When you start driving, everything seems good, however, usually on the nearest traffic light, error comes on that awd has been shut down. Sometimes. however, the error doesn't show for a good amount of time, and then it comes up during a steady ride on a highway.. The most frustrating thing, there is no consistency in this error(
This car is so cool, but it has drained so much money already, that it is just mind-blowing.
Maybe someone here has any ideas on this awd problem, that would be an enormous help!
